The Boondock Saints: Connor/Murphy
This is probably my favorite story in the fandom because it’s just, brilliantly written and so fucking awesome, and LONG. I love long stories and this one is just perfect. It’s a series of nine, increasingly long stories that follow Connor and Murphy from the ages of 10 to 18. Stewardess did her research for this, she put in obvious amounts of time into writing a thoroughly believable backstory for the twins. And her voices for them are practically flawless. There’s angst and happiness and she writes about their relationship, how it’s evolved and is evolving, which is one of my favorite aspects of fic in this fandom. The twins have this incredible, intense relationship. They’re this indestructable, unbreakable, insulated unit. They are, in every sense of the word, a pair. And that intensity, that starkly obvious lovedesperationneed for each other is an awesome jumping off point for writers because it’s interesting.
note: this fic is posted friendslocked to a livejournal community. You’ll a) need an lj account and b) have to friend the community to read it. It’s a pain but the story is definitely worth it.
